In Session Law 2025-88, effective December 1, 2025, North Carolina adopted a legal remedy for expedited removal of unauthorized persons from residential property. This new law seems aimed to solve the problem of when an unauthorized person is on the premises but the owner is unable to remove them through the usual Magistrate process because they are not a tenant, or the owner has to go through the lengthy and expensive process of a trespass claim filed in District Court.
